Qualcomm 5g Vision Presentation

June 2015

Qualcomm’s 5G vision

1

Mobile is the largest technology platform in history

~7.5 billion connections, almost as many as people on earth1

1

Evolving into Internet of Everything: cars, meters, sensors, health devices, etc.

~7.5B connections (~3.7B subs) — GSMA Intelligence, May ’15.

More prevalent than electricity or running water in some regions

At the center of breakthrough experiences like 4K UHD video

Mobile has made a leap every ~10 years

1G Analog voice AMPS, NMT, TACS

2G

3G

Digital voice

Mobile broadband

D-AMPS, GSM, IS-95 (CDMA)

Era of Smartphones

Center of new experiences and services

4 Smartphone installed base surpassed PC (desktops, notebooks, premium ultramobiles) in 2013 (Gartner, Mar. ’14), Fixed connections per ITU, mobile per GSMA. MBB per GSMA, Jul. ’14; Fixed connections: BB per WBIS, Oct. ’14

5G to meet significantly expanded connectivity needs Building on the transformation started in 4G

Requires a new connectivity paradigm
